Description 48-54
Wrightia tinctoria, an important traditional medicinal plant is exploited for treating several diseases. The study intends to reveal the presence of phytochemicals and test the antibacterial activity of W. tinctoria leaf extracts on nonwoven fabrics to find its suitability for wound dressings. The methodology includes identification and collection of W. tinctoria leaves, preparation of leaf powder, determination of physicochemical analysis, extraction using different solvents, preliminary phytochemical screening, quantitative estimation of phytoconstituents, yield of the extracts and determination of antibacterial activity on plant extract treated fabrics. Results revealed the presence of more active metabolites in the ethanol plant extract of W. tinctoria leaves which may be the reason for the promising antibacterial potential against the bacterial strains. As a promising ethnomedicinal plant, W. tinctoria may serve as a major source of useful drugs finding its suitability for developing wound dressings.
